One of the greatest feel good tracks ever to come out of Realworld. You can hear Peter Gabriel smiling as he sings on backing vocal duties. Top marks to my Afro Celt buddies Martin Russell and Simon Emmerson for bring this piece of gold to the world.

"The Journey" is part of series 2 of the Real World Gold re-issued albums - released 30th July.

The journey of this 1998 record’s title is a very literal one, as experienced by Maryam Mursal and her five children when they underwent a seven-month odyssey – on foot, by donkey, by truck – to escape the trials and tribulations of their native Somalia. That this harrowing journey is recounted in such an uplifting, positive and downright funky manner is far more than we have a right to expect. A diamond-hard rhythm section and chunky horns lay the foundation for Maryam’s passionate, soul-dripping voice.
“Mursal's honey-smoked alto weaves a hypnotic web of back-home ululations and R&B diva moanings” – Vibe
